Errol Spence Jr. made his long-awaited return to the ring Sunday night in Sydney, stepping back into the spotlight after a three-year absence to face Tim Tszyu in a middleweight main event at Afterpay Arena. The question wasn't just whether Spence still had it — it was whether three years away had taken anything he can't get back.
Shifting to the hardwood, Karl-Anthony Towns is pointing to youth as the reason the Spurs couldn't hold onto leads during the NBA Finals. San Antonio built advantages and watched them vanish, and Towns believes the Knicks were experienced enough to recognize exactly when to strike. Age, he says, is a factor you simply cannot coach away.
And in Baltimore, Dylan Beavers delivered in the biggest moment of the night, driving in the game-winner with a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth to give the Orioles a three-two victory over the Braves at Camden Yards. The starter was sharp all evening, but it took one swing in the final frame to seal it.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
